Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 346: Chapter 218: Humble for Another Man
 

When Tiya’s light and airy voice reached Xiya’s ears, there was a moment, he felt elated that the other party finally responded.

But the next second, after grasping the underlying meaning in her words, Xiya felt as if he had fallen into an icy cavern.

He stood there stiffly: “Tiya? What… what did you say?”

It was apparent, Xiya had never anticipated, that the girl who once adored him, who had promised to be with him, now seemed incredibly distant.

This would have been absolutely impossible in the past.

He even found it somewhat unacceptable, thinking he might have heard wrong.

However, after a prolonged silence, still unable to receive a reply from behind the door, Xiya’s heart sank gradually.

He stifled the myriad of emotions within him, tightly clenched his fists, then took a deep breath, trying to come to his senses.

“…Could you open the door so we can talk face to face?”

A moment later, Xiya spoke again.

But this time, even he was very clearly aware of the cold emotion contained in his tone.

On the other side, Tiya behind the door was in extreme agony.

Due to the Goddess Blessing, the deep-seated sense of disgust and nausea that was gushing out from the depths of her heart was no falsehood, and no matter how much she lied to herself, she couldn’t erase the physiological repulsion.

It wasn’t only towards Xiya.

If any man appeared before her, even her own relatives, she would still feel the same.

Except… that guy.

Thinking about it, why was he the exception?

Reflecting on her history with Xiya, Tiya felt somewhat sorrowful.

Today, are her feelings for brother Xiya still the same as before?

She didn’t know, and she even dared not think too deeply.

Fearing that if a conclusion was reached, it might devastate her.

Tiya never thought she related in any way to words like ‘flirtatious’, but what she was doing now was undoubtedly hurting him.

After all, could this really be considered a Blessing?

Other than making her life extremely twisted, as if she had been thoroughly controlled and unable to act freely, it hadn’t brought any benefits.

Currently, Tiya’s hand paused over the doorknob, her eyes brimming with tears.

As mentioned before, in the end, she was a person quite prone to being softhearted.

Especially since she had known Xiya for four years, experiencing too much on the border battlefields.

Countless times of sharing life and death, countless times of mutual support.

These memories constantly occupied her mind, as if influenced by some sort of magic, exceptionally clear, tormenting her conscience every second, every minute.

Forget that guy, the person before you is your lifelong refuge.

She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion.

Tiya faintly felt as if another personality had suddenly emerged in her mind, affecting her subtly with a gentle voice.

Unconsciously, her hand grasped the doorknob.

This was effectively making a significant choice at a fork in her life.

Tiya was very clear.

Opening the door would mean deciding to completely cut off that unbearable memory, returning to the right track, returning to Xiya’s embrace.

This was actually what the original her had most hoped for.

Back when she first met Lynn, her life, which had been completely disrupted, had contemplated having him completely disappear from the world, allowing herself as the Silent Saintess to return to her originally smooth life.

However, the result was, even though she could have taken his life at any moment on the balcony of the Hillena mansion, she ultimately didn’t act.

Perhaps that choice back then laid the groundwork for the future.

That guy who messed up other people’s lives, that shameless person who deceived with countless lies, eventually left an indelible mark in her heart.

Standing up on the night at the Tomb of the Silent Death, those nights dodging official pursuit, each of these incidents were beyond what the “Silent Saintess” would do, the absurdity of each was unforgettable for a lifetime.

“…”

Tiya closed her eyes, tears slowly flowing down.

However, her hesitant motion to open the door ultimately didn’t materialize.

After all, if her memories with that guy had just stopped at that night two days ago, perhaps she could have steeled her heart to make a different choice now.

But ultimately, she learned the truth from Louise.

That was really too unscrupulous.

Tiya thought silently, as if blaming the boy who had quietly destroyed her former life.

Perhaps at this moment, maintaining silence was the best choice.

Noticing such prolonged silence, Xiya outside the door turned pale, as if he had been punched in the chest, stumbling back two steps.

So, their relationship had unwittingly become so estranged.

He was both angry and amused, shaking his head repeatedly.

When did everything start to change?

Right.

After that guy appeared, that powerful mindset of controlling everything in his past life completely disappeared, and everything began to spiral out of control.

Recalling their first meeting, he had felt an uncontrollable disgust and hatred towards the entity known as Lynn Bartleion.

Like a vast and magnificent being encountering a minuscule “impurity”, and despite all efforts, unable to erase it.
